Outcomes, Courses, and Assessment
Once you are admitted to the Single Subject program, you will be placed in the Student Teaching Pathway. After that, if you meet all of the requirements for an Intern Credential, you willl move from the Student Teacher Pathway to the Internship Pathway.
If you enter the traditional, Student Teaching Pathway, you will be placed in a school for a minimum of four hours per day (usually from about 8:00-Noon) every day from the beginning to the end of the normal K-12 school year. If you have meet all the requirements for an Intern Credential, including three required summer courses and a contracted teaching position with a local school district, you will be assigned to the Internship Pathway. In this case you will teach the classes assigned to you by contract. All single subject academic classes are scheduled in the late afternoon/early evening and summers to accommodate those with fulltime teaching obligations.
As our program prepares you to demonstrate successful beginning practice in teaching, you will satisfy the following California Standards for the Teaching Profession. You will prepare products in each of your courses that will be compiled into a professional portfolio available on TK20, the computerized data management system used by the Department of Teacher Education. Reflective comments, a personal philosophy statement about teaching, observation reports of your teaching, and State-required Teacher Performance Assessments will be included in your portfolio as well. Your achievement of the CSTPs will be demonstrated through this computer-based portfolio.
